It is not currently possible do do this with members of the Parent lists
(although I wrote a patch that partially does this and it would be
possible to expand that patch to cover all parent lists)

Still there is a work-around in the FAQ that lets you build the Umbrella
lists via scripts, that would get you the functionality you want (and it
works with your version of Mailman).

This is simply the moderation setting on the list.

Yes. Check out the settings in the Web-admin.  There should be toggles
in the Privacy options section.
